« on: November 10, 2010, 03:31:13 PM »
Hello friends advised me to buy one dc motor
He said that this kind of motors contains magnet
Which is similar to Tridmill Motor Is this motor is useful in wind energy project?
I bought one a user does is good Please reply
This is a picture of the Motor

it will make 12 volts cut-in at 620 rpm
it will charge a 12v battery to a full 14.4 volts at 745 rpm
please look at this article featured in the Frequently Asked Questions area . . .

looks like 3,000 rpm ..not round like the other eights?

that puts us close to 300 rpm cut in.

bet that's a heavy motor!

time to get the tower and blades ready!

it's all good fun.
cheers, dave

Hello

  wooferhound & dave ames

Many thanks for help
I am happy to receive replies

But I have doubts after the calculation of these
3000 \ 155 = 19.35
19.35 * 14.5 = 280.575
This means I need 280 rpm to charge the battery
Is this right?
that mean i need 4.5 rpm in scond to get 14.5 v
i think this is not good
 :'(Please I want your opinion
If I wanted to follow-up industry, I do 3 or 5 PVC blades?
Sorry and thank you again>

Your calculation is okay, waseem.  I think Wooferhound forgot to carry a "2".
I tried looking for information about this motor on the Baumuller website, but no luck.  It may be a discontinued model or a motor made for a specific customer (not general purpose).

I guess with 300 RPM you could try a 3-blade turbine rotor about 2 meters in diameter.  Running a little faster than necessary, it may be hard on plastic PVC blades, meaning they may not last very long. 
I also assume that when you try to turn the shaft yourself, you can feel a step-step-step rotation which is common to DC motors.  This will resist turning the blades until the wind has become fairly strong.
My best guess is that a wind turbine made from this motor will function, but in weak winds it will not turn at all, and in strong winds it will turn rather fast.  If you use plastic blades it will be noisy and they may not last very long either.

If you want to find a different motor, you should try to aim for one that operates at a slower speed.  If it were a 155V motor that turns at 2000 RPM, it would be excellent.  If its working voltage is 100, then its working speed should be 1200 RPM.
No one believes the theory except the one who developed it. Everyone believes the experiment except the one who ran it.

Hello
Mr. \ SparWeb
I do not know how to thank you?
I was reluctant to complete this project, but because of you
I will continue.
Thank you for the useful information
